(54) Electro-therapeutic device


(57) In an electro-therapeutic device, a pair of electrodes which are placed in contact with skin are disposed in a handheld housing. The electrodes are coupled to an electronic circuit which can detect a decrease in resistance in the skin, thereby locating a low-resistance point such as an acupuncture point or biologically active trigger point. The electronic circuit also includes a pulse generator which applies a stimulus to the electrodes and stimulates the low-resistance point.
